We need govt. ...the govt. that was envisioned by our founding fathers.
NOT a govt. that takes in 11 BILLION dollars per day in revenue and still manages to be 17 TRILLION dollars in debt.
I've had the federal hwy discussion before with people (paid for by the tax on gasoline) and local roads are paid by local taxes and state taxes.
If you think that you are driving on roads that cost trillions and trillions of dollars or getting "public services" (which AGAIN...are paid by local taxes) that are worth trillions and trillions of dollars...then you are playing right into the hands of these lifetime/career bureaucrats who are destroying our nation.
Anyway...I'm just pointing out that for all the amazement of how much money Apple is making...the U.S. Federal govt. could buy and sell EVERY "big" company just with the revenue (taxes) they bring in every year. And of course our govt. spends FAR more than it brings in (thus the giant un-payable debt)
I'm just not one of those people who think we are driving on federal hwy's made of gold and that invading other countries is "defending my freedom" while I am searched at airports and my phone is tapped and emails read.
